I’ve never been sure about anything
I’ve always had one foot out the door
Watching the exits, ready to escape
For when doubt finds the sign its been looking for

I only fall in love with someone after they’re gone
I can never love someone the same time they love me
The only love I can accept is the unrequited
Because any other form would be quite above me

They ask me Ice Queen, why are you so mean?
Why do you lead all the men to their cold deaths?
A siren singing at the edge of a frozen forest
Waiting like a predator to take their last breaths

And here I am again
Using the same old trick
Building these walls back up
Brick by brick

When you first met me I was barely a human being
I was so in love with a dream I could hardly see straight
But something in you made my world a brighter place
And the chaos from my former life began to dissipate

But with every new connection I’ve ever made
There’s always been some secret storm lurking
The trick is to pull away before you get hurt
Before everything falls to pieces and stops working

I tried so hard to look past all your imperfections
But no matter how I look I can’t picture my life with you
When I felt the dynamic change, saw the look in your eyes
I knew I had no choice but turn my back on you

They ask me Ice Queen, why are you so mean?
Why do you lead all the men to their cold deaths?
A siren singing at the edge of a frozen forest
Waiting like a predator to take their last breaths

And here I am again, back to square one
Scared as hell to ever let anyone in
Building these walls because it’s all I’ve ever done
Brick by sullen brick
